W. Somerset Maugham
This second volume of collected stories by W. Somerset Maugham spans settings from Malaya to America and England. It includes celebrated tales such as 'Flotsam and Jetsam,' depicting a woman in a remote rubber plantation enduring a loveless marriage, and 'The Man with the Scar.' The opening story, 'The Vessel of Wrath,' recounts the unlikely romance between a dedicated missionary nurse and a disreputable character. Maugham's characteristic sharp observation of human flaws and his skill in creating compelling drama through a strong sense of time and place are evident throughout.
